The ability to add confirmation to a specific server

Enhancement

It would be helpful to have the ability to add confirmation to a specific server before pushing changes

Use case:
Imagine you configured 2 servers,
Beta server in which you test under development functionalities
Prod server where the stable version is
You can easily run git ftp push -s prod and break the production App
(I'm not saying it happened to me because I thought I was on another project)

So it would be helpful if there was a confirmation question like "Are you sure you want to push to AppName Production ?"
It can be set up for a server like so:

[git-ftp "prod"]
	url = sftp://123.321.12.21:22/app_folder/web
	user = admin
	password = ******
        confirmation_message= "Are you sure you want to push to AppName Production ?"

Thanks for this idea.

I added the enhancement tag so we have it in our possible features list. But since we don't have that much time to develop the project, it may take some (or a lot) time to implement it.

On the other hand you could easily implement such a check in a Hook for pre-ftp-push. If you want to know how hooks work, please refer to the manual.

Thank you for considering my suggestion,

I read the manual but didn't find how to use the pre-ftp-push hook

I tried this:

[git-ftp "prod"]
	...
        pre-ftp-push=script.sh

But it didn't work, can you please give me an example?

Oh. Git hooks is an official git feature:

The hooks are all stored in the hooks subdirectory of the Git directory. In most projects, that’s .git/hooks. When you initialize a new repository with git init, Git populates the hooks directory with a bunch of example scripts … (source)

You have to place your script file in .git/hooks with the name pre-ftp-push and it will be called automatically.

Thanks :)
